If you want to make a list of guys to blame for not hitting with runners on base, or for this inept offense generally, Rivera's near the bottom of the list if he's on it all.

and another fail. I'll give that to ya. Still, I'd RATHER he take his hacks and fail knowing he will get into a rhythm with his swing than have some scrub who is someone's DFA taking his place...

Eloy has no business hitting any longer. What the hell is Hyde doing? He doesn’t hit lefties better. Good god. 

I never understood the move in the first place.  You don't pick up a guy that needs a swing rebuild to unlock his one tool during a pennant race.

Santander at 1B, Kjerstad in RF

Rivera at 1B, Mayo at 3B

Santander is not a 1B. Rivera can probably play 1B but then you would have bad defense at 3B. And I don't think Mayo is better than O'Hearn, at least not yet.

But there are alternatives. 

They are all probably worse than O'Hearn.

      Kimbrel DFA

      By ledzepp8 · Posted

      I think the writing was on the wall after Hyde let him get torched last night. He's completely snakebit. It's gotta be in his head. How many times has he come in and get the first two outs relatively easy and then just implodes?

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      By banks703 · Posted

      I've been adamant that at some point, CK may have realized that this is probably his last year in a big league uniform. Whether that meant that he was overextending himself early then faltered due to fatigue, loss of control/command, etc.. I cannot say but I do wonder if that realization followed by a demotion, lead to him not caring as much. I mean, he's made his money for this year. Some of the rumors about clubhouse stuff, I could see CK being at the center of that, even if not necessarily by his own doing but if others on the team felt like he received preferential treatment or if they felt he was being treated unfairly a la the James McCann and Burnes comments about him not making the All-Star team. I'm speculating of course and probably somewhat irresponsibly repeating unfound rumors but I could see there being a division of the clubhouse (youngins / vets) around a guy like CK with how he has been managed. Whoever posted that Hyde and Elias were divided on Kimbrell, can you elaborate on that? Who was in favor of moving CK and who was in favor of keeping him?

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      I kind of believe in baseball magic, and in watching Detroit this past week or so, they have that magic right now.  9-1 for them, if they sweep us this weekend, is much more realistic than people are giving credit for.  Now, chances are we win at least one over the weekend, just like in Detroit, and that might be enough to do them in.  But acting like that is a certainty is foolish, in my opinion. And if Detroit passes us, the other two could as well - especially MN, who will get three games against us to finish off whatever gap there might be in that last weekend. The O's are a bad team right now.  3-8 for a bad team is asking more than a lot of folks here care to admit.  Yes its possible we can win the next two vs SF and then take 2/3 from the Tigers, but what has anyone seen recently to think we are going to win 4 out of 5, or even 3 out of the next 5? All that being said, the narrative that the team has 'packed it in' or is looking forward to tee times is way out of line and over the top.  Its not lack of effort here, its lack of ability and/or good players in a bad spot.  If you really think they don't care, I don't know what to tell you other than give me a break.

      Anybody know if Kimbrel will still get his $1M buyout for opting out of 2025?

      This isn’t a huge deal as he could be replacing Smith, after he went a few innings yesterday but there is some speculation that Cano is hurt, as we have not seen him pitch for a week.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Sammy Seagull · Posted

      it's time for Hyde to move on, he should walk away with his head held high before this weekend. He has given all he can and is no use to the team.
